5 Ways to be Thankful

Happy Thanksgiving! This day is a perfect reminder to thank all of the people special to your wedding day. Although of course you and your fiancée are the stars of the day, there are many people who play a role in making your big day one to remember forever. By thanking these people during and after the wedding, you are sure to make a lasting impression as a beautiful Bridechilla! Get inspired with these five fantastic "thank yous":

#1 Thank your guests at the wedding with more than favors. A sweet note on their place setting or in the program is a great way to set the tone of the night and make your guests feel welcomed and loved. This heartfelt note from Etsy is perfect inspiration, but you can customize this idea to match your theme and personalities!

#2 When you send out thank you notes to your guests, include pictures of the wedding! This is a great way to remind them of the special day they shared with you and your (now!) husband, and they may not get to see the beautiful pictures of the big day otherwise. We love this thank you card from Wedding Paper Divas:

#3 Of course the guests are important to consider, but don't forget to thank the most important people soon after the wedding: your families. Make sure they know how much their support and encourgement meant to you both on your wedding day and beyond. We encourage a sincere, frameable keepsake like this poster from Etsy to give your parents a timeless "thank you":

#4 Your bridal party also played a big role, and you want to make sure to acknowledge how important they were in the wedding and how much they continue to mean to you now. We suggest a cute wooden frame like this one from Etsy with a picture of the two of you during the wedding:

5. Some of the people that made the biggest contribution to the wedding are those that are often left out: vendors! If your vendors had a major part in making your wedding the amazing experience that is was, make sure to let them know with more than just a tip. Send them a fun, personalized gift like this customized wine bottle. Plus, it is always polite to leave reviews online for other brides to know what an amazing vendor they truly are!
